Sounds more like detox.

I'm regular drug addict and know the feeling.

In this case its called rebound effects.

When you have a medical condition that you treat with medication, a shocking consequence of discontinuing treatment is a return of that medical conditions symptoms.

On the bright side, people don't call you a slacker anymore. Now your just a drug addict.

You're correct.

I have had experienced something similar with Xanax. The symptoms returned but worse than ever and I was certain that taking loads of it is absolutely necessary. Once you are able to go off, the symptoms go back to normal. Anxiety doesn't appear, but Xanax only makes it worse. It is same story with stimulants.

"Detox" doesn't start before you ever take the drug, and continue long after you stop. Might as well say that diabetes is just insulin detox.
